please read my proposal topic and continue to write this topic “George Floyd incident”
This assignment is the next step in completing your course-long research project. For the previous assignment, you have written and received feedback on a proposal for a research project into a community effort to resist and transform: racial, ethnic, and national hierarchies; white supremacy; and racialized domination. The next step is to begin conducting your research and drafting your paper. The final paper will consist of four sections and be 6-8 pages in length (for more on this, see the Final Paper Assignment Guidelines). For the mid-term assignment, you will be submitting a rough draft of one of the two body sections amounting to roughly 3-4 pages in length. You are welcome to choose either of the two body sections, but regardless of which section you choose to submit, remember that this is a research project. Your discussion should be well-researched and you should be citing your sources. This includes any materials you are using to help research that group you chose to study, as well as any materials you are using to help elaborate the issues you are discussing. In addition to the body section that you are submitting, you should include a completed draft of your introduction, which should incorporate any feedback you received on your proposal. Ideally, this means that some amount of your mid-term submission will simply be a tidied and revised draft of your proposal made to read like the introduction to a research paper. You will also be responsible for conducting a review of one (1) peer’s mid-term submission. This review should be thoughtful, considered, and engaged, with the primary goal being to give at least two (2) substantive recommendations, i.e., how your peer might incorporate course readings into their paper that they might not have considered, ways that they might work to increase the clarity of their argument, or questions that arose for you in reading that they might elect to answer. Reviews are due by Monday July, 19. Formatting Guidelines: Format your submission as complete essay. Include your name, the course number, and a title for your final paper. Your sections must have headings. That is, your introduction should have a section heading that says “Introduction,” and the body-section that you choose to submit should have a relevant section heading (e.g., “The Problem,” “Janelle Monae’s Afro-Futurism,” “Confronting The Legacies of Japanese Internment,” etc.). Other formatting guidelines are standard: 12 pt font, Times New Roman, 1-inch margins, double-spaced, etc. Citations can be formatted using any standard style (Chicago, APA, ASA, Harvard, etc.). As long as you are internally consistent and thorough with your citations. All relevant information for any course readings will either be available on the reading itself or on the syllabus. Information regarding avoiding plagiarism can be found on the syllabus.
